  "account": "BUV ranks 41st in Asia among MBA programs in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027. This is the second consecutive year that the Vietnamese institution has earned a spot in the rankings, which place it in the 251-300 band globally. BUV's overall score rose from 36.0 to 37.2 out of 100 as the number of MBA programs in Asia increased from 70 to 81. The rankings, published by higher education analytics organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), evaluate 13 sub-indicators across five categories, including Employability, Alumni Outcomes, Return on Investment, Thought Leadership, and Diversity. QS gathered responses from 43,870 academics and 37,660 employers worldwide to compile the rankings. BUV scored 100 out of 100 in entrepreneurship, showcasing the high proportion of graduates who start and run their own businesses within three months of completing the program. This success is attributed to the professional backgrounds of many MBA students, who are often business managers, entrepreneurs, and managers seeking to apply academic knowledge to their operations. The Alumni Outcomes score of 46.7, above the global average of 45.9, rivals that of several U.K. Russell Group institutions like Exeter and Liverpool. Employment Rate scored 94 out of 100, reflecting the university's practice-oriented teaching and partnerships with over 500 businesses, including multinational companies and enterprises in Vietnam's top 500 businesses. These collaborations allow MBA students to interact with senior executives, address real-world management challenges, and grow their professional networks. Singaporean entrepreneur Francis Yeo Kee Heng praised the program for its practicality and professional network-building opportunities. BUV's international faculty and diverse student body contribute to a diversity score of 66, surpassing the global average of 60.1. The university's faculty members hold qualifications from international universities or organizations, bolstering its international teaching staff and diverse student body. Prof. Rick Bennett, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, emphasized that the ranking reflects the university's commitment to preparing graduates for leadership roles, further investing in faculty development and academic activities. BUV's strategic expansion includes a partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University to offer three dual-degree master's programs in International Business Management, Business Analytics, and AI for Digital Business. These programs, accredited by AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, provide academic study and practical business applications, meeting Vietnam's growing demand for skilled business professionals.",
